Also on the subject of Maddux, this insight blew my mind. Truly, the guy was so far ahead of analytics, scouting, all the insights we have now…

As always, your work is amazing. Thank you for being one of the great ones. New York magazine should be mortified to have never published your work - it’s a sign of how bad at finding and publishing good writing and journalism. ❤️
